Tyrants =/ legally elected official. They are confusing a political loss with an overthrow of democracy. Pitiful really. The conservatives lost and America suffered while conservatives were quiet and well behaved. Progressives lose and America starts to rebound and they throw whining fits. Wait till we start pruning government growth to 2008 or even lower levels! Stuck pigs will be quieter than these wimps!

Just goes to show there's an idiot in every crowd. So the real question is, what solutions does that guy have? Probably its let the unions have whatever they want.

Think about it, if the unions are spending hundreds of millions on getting their guys elected into office and 6 figure paychecks for the leadership then just imagine how well the unions are taking care of their members.

I don't have any audio on the guy shouting the phrase -- although lip-reading works too. I do hear all the Shame chanting a little later, though. (Why isn't the crowd shouting back Lame? That would be appropriate).

Seriously, my husband told me to get all my teeth pulled because my teeth get in the way when I blow him and he makes me stop and just jerks off. I am a terrible cock sucker. I am thankful that he didn't drop me because I can't suck cock. That would be a deal breaker for some guys.

The big news at the Wisconsin state fair is that large crowds of blacks were beating the crap out of whites. Not much evidence that the Wisconsin whites were fighting back or helping out the white victims.

@Pogo: In this context yes, it's an endorsement of John Wilkes Booth. It's directed by protestors, who are otherwise also calling Walker a tyrant, who clearly want Walker out of office. You really think they're just randomly shouting state mottos? "Show me! Show me!"

It's not a threat. It's something very close to an endorsement of Booth.

Are these jokers aware that the deep blue states are well along on this process?

"The budget signing follows an agreement reached Friday on a contentious plan to reduce the cost to cities and towns for providing health insurance to municipal employees.

Amendments filed by Patrick to the budget would give cities and towns more flexibility to make changes in co-payments, deductibles and other aspects of public employee health insurance outside of the collective bargaining process.

Under the proposal, cities and towns could shift their workers into the state's Group Insurance Commission or another lower-cost plan after a monthlong discussion period with unions.

The issue had been one of the thorniest of the lengthy budget negotiations on Beacon Hill, with intense lobbying by union leaders who claimed it would violate collective bargaining rights won over the years. Meanwhile, cities and towns facing cuts in local aid demanded that the state provide them relief from the soaring costs of providing health insurance to workers."

Who's surprised? They're leftists. If they don't murder their political opponents or hang them in effigy, they pine for a deus ex machina to overthrow the result. Remember the whine "where are you now, Lee Harvey Oswald?" applied to that dictator Chimpy McBushitlerburton?

Frankly, if I were Walker, I'd give that asshole something to scream about. "Oh, I'm a tyrant, am I? OK, security, pound him until his ears bleed!" Sure, I'd get sued and never reelected, but it would give snarling, diaper-soiling brats like this a REAL taste of tyranny.

● Nixon: Absolutely HATED and almost violently vilified by the American left and the Democrat Party.

● Reagan: Absolutely HATED and daily vilified as evil by the American left and the Democrat Party.

● Clinton: Absolutely HATED and daily vilified by American Conservatives and the Republican party.

● "W": The highest level of visceral HATRED seen and practiced by the American Left and the Democrat Party in the last 50 years, to the point of being able to say in common society "I HATE Bush" and get away with no social negatives.

PREDICTION: The election of 2012 will be seen as the last stand by the American Left and the Democrat Party, just like Wisconsin. Prepare for the worst, most dishonest, most immoral, most physical election efforts by the Democrats that you have ever imagined.

Someone should tell them the hot , new, progressive, revolutionary phrase is "Arbeit Macht Frei", meaning, of course, "Labor Arbitration Creates Freedom". They'll all be chanting it in unison at Walker's next appearance. Now, that would be some good video.

I take it that as WI only recently passed CCW, they don't have any equivalent of Stand Your Ground? Duty To Retreat is one of the dumbest thing our legal system has ever cooked up. Future generations will think very poorly of us.

According to an analysis piece in Chinese media yesterday, America now owes every man, woman and child in China 5170 yuan. That's a little over $800 per person. A point of national pride in China - a triumph of the superior Chinese worker and the wise senior Communist Politburo.

Sort of like the puffed up pride of some unemployed Rust Belter reminding the snooty French that "they owe America" for "saving them in battle". Or if no Frenchmen is handy, reminding others in the local Ruins of Detroit picnic that golly gee, America is the best, with the best workers and best military heroes ever...and the world owes us.

And government owes us, and the checks to the Freedom Lovers better keep coming...or more "Sic Semper Tyrannis" posters would be coming.

At a Raiders game at the LA Coliseum in 91, I saw 3 hispanic guys taunt a family by a concession stand. They knocked the hat off of the father and pushed him in the chest against a trash can. Noone did anything - including me - but 3 Marines came out of the bathroom and walked over towards the hispanics taunting them about "Oh, You want to fuck somebody up?" The 3 h's didn't say anything and started to back up. One marine slapped one of the h's upside the head and said "Move on, Motherfucker, your game's over." The h's turned and RAN, and I mean hauled ass towards the exit. A couple of people applauded and lots said thank you's.

Steve Koch said...The big news at the Wisconsin state fair is that large crowds of blacks were beating the crap out of whites. Not much evidence that the Wisconsin whites were fighting back or helping out the white victims.=============Fighting back? Helping out white victims?

That - Would - Be - Racist!!!

Part of what african and arab gangs in France say after being caught beating and robbing French natives and any Jews they can discern in the crowd (for political and religious reasons for arabs while the blacks just believe a Jew has good money or gold on them for the taking) - is their contempt.The victims never fight back, the whites on the trains never intervene. That - Would - Be - Racist. ==============================Let a pack of niggahs try it in LA against Mexicans or Koreans though - whole different story. The niggahs are way more careful there because not only the people will fight back, and later the gangs that protect them will be looking to pick off any Watts/Compton niggahs going through their turf for payback for the attacks. (LA has seen blacks cleansed from neighborhoods and schools now dominated by illegals and their anchor baby/legal family reunification spawn. Not that the hispanic toughs are pure by any means - but sections of LA are "no go zones for any blacks".

White liberals, progressive Jews in Wisconsin?...Far easier targets. "It's just a bike and a little money, the kid will heal. The main thing is we need to understand the thugs anger. Is it Bush's fault?"

Woah Chase, for sure. Last presidential election was hairy. I heard a black guy in Philadelphia stood outside a polling station with a stick! I am surprised that the Republic survived. Thank God Fox blasted that story every day for six months or all might have been lost.

Face it, bucko-- you are a self-pitying, self-dramatizing seeker of virtuous victimhood. You seek equivalence where it doesn't exist. You are a whiner. You are a sore loser. In short, you are a little bitch.

And I agree with commenters upthread about Titus: He's here to derail the conversation and redirect it into the toilet. Why Althouse puts up with it, I can only guess, and since I'm not a professional psychologist, I won't offer my half-ass amateur opinion.

But to the topic of the post: You 'Sconsinites have a pretty awesome state fair, what with all the race riots and death threats in ancient languages. All we have in Ohio are elephant-ears and really big lop-ear rabbits.

I heard a black guy in Philadelphia stood outside a polling station with a stick! I am surprised that the Republic survived.

You're certainly a good little fascist. Violence by lefties isn't violence at all, but violence by some whacko half way around the world is related to American conservatism. And, the race based violence in Wisconsin isn't worth mentioning. If you're a honky, you should try walking around the outside of the fairgrounds in Milwaukee tonight. Be sure to wear your "I'm a liberal sign." It'll protect you.

Herman - Trump has some good things to say...(like being about the only person out there who hasn't sold out to the China Lobby) - but is totally unacceptable to the voters. Because whatever smart and good is in the man is wrapped up in a package of a self-promoting clown and media whore fond of PR stunts like "running for NYC mayor" "I will rebuild the 9/11 Site" "I will run for President....seriously". Then go away once he has milked the max from the media.

Marco Rubio is too unseasoned. Another Palin in the experience level aspect...though I doubt he is a quitter. Same with Nikki Haley. Another nice new prospect just a few years into her 1st executive high office position, (though unlike Rubio, she helped run a business as an executive/part owner).If the candidate is Romney, maybe someone really into Jesus from the South with a ethnic angle like Rubio has a shot...but others like Bobby Jindal with high smarts and a track record of repairing broken budgets sucessfully would be a far better choice.If Perry is the candidate, another good ol' boy would make no sense.And if Bachmann is the candidate, whoever she picks won't really matter.

Florida is no longer looking winnable for Obama. Romney was leading him before the debt cap deal and the start of the next round of recession and slow collapse of the social welfare state in Europe becoming obvious.Though Obama still leads Bachmann by 10 and Palin by 16 in Florida (also pre-debt ceiling vote polling).

I think Jindal, BTW, is best to move on from Louisiana. He honored his commitment to the voters...but the danger is always there with Louisiana that the longer one is there in office, the more corrupted by unsavory but necessary "deals", and thus unsuitable for national office - one becomes.

Alex - Being Cuban does not translate into instant PR, Mex-American, other hispanic love. Being Cuban helps in Florida..not much elsewhere. And the guy is a "new" star, but only 1 1/2 years into his first big office. His only career experience since graduating from law school has been in state politics.

PREDICTION: The election of 2012 will be seen as the last stand by the American Left and the Democrat Party, just like Wisconsin. Prepare for the worst, most dishonest, most immoral, most physical election efforts by the Democrats that you have ever imagined.

"It's not going to be 2008 'Yes, we can' anymore. I think it's going to be slash-and-burn," said Democratic pollster Paul Maslin. "We have an embattled incumbent who doesn't have much hope of improving his standing except by point of comparison with his Republican opponent. It's going to be a very different kind of election that's going to be brutal, to be honest."

Alex said... "The closest thing we have to a potential Reagan is Marco Rubio. But he's too fucking nice".

Marco Rubio is not eligible for VP or POTUS-- Not a natural born Citizen. His parents were in the US for 17 years when they naturalized in 1976. Marco was born in 1971 in Miami as a dual Cuban/ US Citizen (by way of the 14th Amendment, and Wong Kim Ark-- born in the US of resident alien Cuban Citizen parents).

Ummm...looked at franglo's link, went to "Crooks and Liars"-aptly named. Has a map of 22 or so alleged "right wing" incidences of violence over about three years. First few I looked at were Loaghner in Az, Stack in Austin (plane into IRS bld), two white guys extorting a bank in Ore, and the "Hutaree Militia" thing in Ohio.Not very convincing evidence of "Right Wing". If that's the best he has, meh.

Time for Jindal to make his next move."

Jindal is not eligible for VP or POTUS-- Not a natural born Citizen. He was born in La. of resident alien Indian immigrants, thus was a Indian/ US dual Citizen at birth (by way of the 14th Amendment and Wong Kim Ark). Natural born Citizens need no statute (including the 14A) to be considered a US Citizen. Dual Citizens at birth cannot be natural born Citizens, eligible for POTUS or VP (thus the term of art NATURAL BORN).

After you succeed in getting Barack Obama thrown out of office for failing to meet the definition of a "natural born citizen," I'll take your opinions on Bobby Jindal seriously."

Millions that are awake and aware of Obama's Usurpation will have standing to challenge the eligibility of Rubio, Jindal and Obama in the next election. The Preatorian guards in Black robes, at the behest of the Central Banker NWO Debt Masters, have blocked all questions of Obama's eligibility with "standing" since he was defacto elected, and was fraudulently passed through the Electoral College. They have never ruled on the facts.

No. Maybe YOU can answer the question:

If the PURPOSE of the natural born Citizen requirement was prevention of foreign influence into the Oval Office (FACT), then how is it possible that Obama, Rubio, and Jindal, born British, Cuban, and Indian respectively, are natural born Citizens, eligible for POTUS (or VP).

Man, I was so convinced that the Left was dead serious about being civil back in January.

But, heck, the head of a group of journalists seeking to increase civility doesn't feel it's uncivil to call conservatives terrorists --- so for the Left, THIS IS CIVIL.

Don't be nice. Stop being friendly. Call Obama an empty-suited moron. Call Harry Reid the missing link between man and monkey. Call Nancy Pelosi evidence that perhaps mental competency requirements SHOULD be demanded for government people.

And have Walker make Wisconsin right to work and tell the unions to go screw themselves. Remind parents that he saved thousands of jobs and balanced the budget when the assorted rabble of progressive monkeys refused to do it.

KenK,I think Titus is an agent-provocateur committing cyber sabotage. By putting his nasty stuff on this blog it flags Althouse for blockage by many library and workplace spam/pr0n firewall software.

KenK, this is true I believe. The Titus content moves the althouse blog to a questionable status in websense. A common url blocking filter used by business. But hey maybe I shouldn't be reading althouse at work!!!! If he was artistic about it maybe. But the content appears to be a type of babbling.

Marco Rubio is not eligible for VP or POTUS-- Not a natural born Citizen. His parents were in the US for 17 years when they naturalized in 1976. Marco was born in 1971 in Miami as a dual Cuban/ US Citizen (by way of the 14th Amendment, and Wong Kim Ark-- born in the US of resident alien Cuban Citizen parents).

If he was born here and Cuba doesn't claim him he can be president. There aren't any Clintons tyring to return him to Cuba.

Boy, are you totally off base! These people are not making threats at all! They are instead showing their very public support for the officers and crew of the Navy's newest submarine, USS Virginia, whose motto is indeed, "Sic Semper Tyrannis".

LarsPorsena said..."...And the guy is a "new" star, but only 1 1/2 years into his first big office. His only career experience since graduating from law school has been in state politics..."

That experience thing didn't stop you from embracing Senator 'present' in the last general election.========================It's really quite simple. McCain v. Obama was a choice of embracing the lesser of two evils. To me, and a majority of other Americans, Obama was the least worse bum left standing at the end.

That doesn't mean I want another no-executive experience to speak of person like McCain, Obama, Palin, and Biden next time around.

BTW - the best argument John McCain had against the "Perfesser" was the experience argument, and the dimbulb McCain lost that edge with 3 big blunders:

1. The biggest was picking Goddess of the Fundies Sarah who had the same amount of high office time as Obama. This signalled to voters that McCain, with life threatening melanoma in his past and advanced age, believed experience was no real issue.2. Aside from his Love of General Petraeus and the Surge ...McCain couldn't dredge up his record as showing his success and experience, because a 1/4th of the time he agreed to follow the NY Times party line against Republicans. 3. Finally he lost the experience edge when he appeared to be a chicken running around with its head cut off when he suspended his campaign..then on resumption maybe showed he had had a little too much time in office and maybe past retirement age.

Marco Rubio is not eligible for VP or POTUS-- Not a natural born Citizen. His parents were in the US for 17 years when they naturalized in 1976. Marco was born in 1971 in Miami as a dual Cuban/ US Citizen (by way of the 14th Amendment, and Wong Kim Ark-- born in the US of resident alien Cuban Citizen parents).

If he was born here and Cuba doesn't claim him he can be president. There aren't any Clintons tyring to return him to Cuba".

Wrong. 1). Rubio would have had the opportunity to claim birthrite Cuban Citizenship as per the Cuban Constitution until age 21.

2). The SCOTUS precedent definition excludes Rubio:

From Minor v. Happersett:

"The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. "

His parents were resident aliens, not US Citizens, so Rubio is ineligible.

Look at this photo of Obama in a spaniard newspaper :http://www.elmundo.es/america/2011/08/06/economia/1312590842.html?a=e07ee4078f12e931ea232258c003301a&t=1312593498&numero=And compare with this:http://infocatolica.com/blog/reforma.php/1009080616-104-catolicos-y-politica-ix-d-7

Well, it's pretty absurd to call a duly elected leader a tyrant. If anybody in America has tyrannical tendencies, it's the labor unions.

The way the left has been acting lately, calling the tea party movement terrorists, thugs and muggers, and claiming they hold guns to the heads of officials, seems like projection to me. When they don't get their way it seems to them that democracy has been violated. From such flee.

Jose_K said... "Dual Citizens at birth cannot be natural born Citizens, eligible for POTUS or VP Until Andrew Jackson all Presidents were british according to that preposterous logic."

Your a little late to the game. And WRONG. The founders KNEW they themselves were not natural born, since they were born British before 1789, so they grandfathered themselves in by the "grandfather clause", i.e "or a CITIZEN at the time of the ratification of this Constitution." They trusted themselves, since they fought the Revolution, but they trusted no others born with foreign allegiance after 1789. Obama was 172 years too late. Do you think the founders would have been OK w/ someone born BRITISH serving as President? A2S1V5 has never been amended. And maybe you overlooked the SCOTUS definition precedent from Minor v. Happersett:

"The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. "

You could not be more wrong about Rubio, Jindal, and Obama. The citizenships of the parents do not affect their US citizenship. The Supreme Court ruling in US vs. Wong Kim Ark upheld Wong's contention that he was a US citizen by virtue of his birth in San Francisco despite his parents' status as Chinese citizens. Similarly, Rubio, Jindal, and Obama are eligible to be president or vice president by virtue of their birth in the United States, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.

Your view that dual citizenship makes a US citizen ineligible for the presidency has no basis in US law. Moreover, it would make no sense because the US cannot control the citizenship laws of other countries. A few countries (e.g., Greece and Turkey now and the UK in the 19th century) do not allow their citizens to renounce their citizenship, and their children also possess that citizenship regardless of their place of birth. You are saying that, for example, all Greek-Americans are ineligible to be president or vice president. There were a lot of reasons why Michael Dukakis should not have been president, but that is not one of them.

Moreover, we have already had at least one president and probably one vice-president who were dual citizens. President Chester Arthur's father was a British subject, making President Arthur from birth a US citizen and a British subject. Vice President Spiro Agnew probably could have picked up a Greek passport just by asking for one.

The Constitution, statute, and the Supreme Court have never defined what "natural-born citizen" means in terms of eligibility to be president or vice president, but that does not mean that you can substitute your opinion on what should be the law. As Justice Horace Gray wrote in the majority opinion in US vs. Wong Kim Ark, "The constitution nowhere defines the meaning of these words ["citizen" and "natural born citizen"], either by way of inclusion or of exclusion, except in so far as this is done by the affirmative declaration that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States [14th amendment, section 1].'"

Let me add something more about Obama. Even if Obama had been born in Kenya of an invalid bigamous marriage, he still would have been a US citizen from birth because his mother was a US citizen. According to 8 USC Section 1609, Children born out of wedlock, "(c) . . . a person born, after December 23, 1952, outside the United States and out of wedlock shall be held to have acquired at birth the nationality status of his mother, if the mother had the nationality of the United States at the time of such person’s birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year."

Hey Mick: when does your super-secret plan to prevent Obama from running for election or being president or whatever kick in? Don't forget to let me know, so I can get the popcorn and, if necessary, contact the Secret Service.

@ ddh Not to go to bat for Mick necessarily, but if we look at a hypothetical where Obama was born in in Kenya (I don't see any evidence he was), the part you have left out is that Stanley Ann Dunham was 18 when Obama was born [BHO Sr knocker her up when she was 17] so the time doesn't work as she had to be an adult for that time. (My copy of the overseas birth certificate for my kids is on the other computer).

That same document differentiates (quotes all the statues on the back) between types of citizens, and issues affecting children of American / non American marriage born overseas.

Had the sign been attributable to the Tea Party, the media would by this point be embroiled in a ferocious debate over hardliner response versus a hearts-and-minds policy: whether to summarily execute all those not voting in the last Democrat primary; or just the first-born sons of Tea-Party families.

Here, because it is clearly righteous liberal wrath directed at an elected official declared to be a fascist by public employee unions, it is a matter of free speech protected under the First Amendment.

Let's not be too hard on the media - it's tough on them these days: they can't take a position on any event these days until they know the poliitcal persuasion of the involved parties. Here it's pretty clear the sign man is a"good guy", and they don't have to report on it; but not all such incidents are so clear cut.

Thank goodness the members of today's media are willing to take on the thankless task of determining the relative moral worth of parties. We should probably just go ahead and make the media another branch of government, and support them by happily paying our "fair share" in money we've wrung out of the oppressed poor.

By the way, you people bashing Titus are ridiculous. The accusations about him trying to get Althouse blocked are just stupid. The accusations about Titus trying to change the course of the conversation are right on. But it's not some sinister plot. He's very up front about this objective.

Trooper does this very same thing, changing the conversation when he wants to. You got a problem with him?
